1. “Wooyoung hyung, thank you or your autographed CD!” Taecyeon and Wooyoung are joking around with each other, which is something they do often backstage. Nichkhun is pretending to play along from the back. After signing CDs all day, the boys decide to play a fun joke to help ease the fatigue.

2. Doesn’t Taecyeon look tough even while enjoying the breeze of a fan? Nichkhun stands behind him in an attempt to catch some of the breeze.

3. There’s a lot of clothes, right? These are our clothes and make up tools in our waiting room. The clothes at the top are suits for ‘Like A Movie’ while the ones on the bottom are for “Hands Up”.

4. Did Wooyoung do something wrong? Nichkhun seems to look angry while Wooyoung is side-eyeing him.

5. Chansung looks tired from having to autograph all of those albums. He could sign hundreds of those a day and it would still not be enough. The pile next to him must be autographed by all of 2PM.
